Pin Header - Board to Board Connectors

GCT's board to board connector range, offers a huge variety of pin header products. Available in 0.8 x 1.2mm (.031" x .047"), 1mm (.039"), 1.27mm (.050"), 2mm (.079") and 2.54mm (.100") pitch ranges in surface mount or through hole mount types.

Pin headers may be single, dual, triple or quad rows in straight or right angle PCB orientation, Pin headers mate with female receptacles.

There are many elevated pin header options, these are a perfect choice where specific PCB stacking dimensions are required.

  • Pin lengths are customer specifiable, coupled with a range of insulator profile height options this allow customers to choose the perfect products to fit their design.
  • Number of contacts from two to one hundred.
  • For surface mount pin headers optional locating pegs are available,
    • Offer stability during solder process and extra strength on board post soldering.
  • Shrouded pin headers for polarised and keyed mating solutions available.
Technical drawings, product specifications and 3d models are available for download on all parts. Find mating parts easily by clicking the button and use the compare products functionality to check key differences between parts.

There are myriad board to board connector choices, if you need help specifying a pin header please contact GCT, our engineers are on hand to offer application design advice, including requests for specific PCB stacking requirements.

Pitch

Distance between connector pin centrelines. For dual row products pitch defines distance between both pins and rows. Note 0.8 x 1.2mm (0.31” x .047”) is the exception to this rule.

Gender

Male headers with exposed pins and female sockets with insulated non-exposed contacts.

Number Of Rows

Defines PCB connector number of rows. GCT offer single in line (SIL), dual in line (DIL), triple in line (three rows) and quad in line (four rows) options.

Mount Type

Termination method of soldering connector onto PCB.

PCB Orientation

Defines the orientation which a connector sits on the PCB. Vertical (straight) is 90° to the PCB, right angle (horizontal) is 180° to the PCB. Use the appropriate mating connector pairs for parallel, co-planar and right angle PCB mating configuration.

Locating Peg

Plastic locating pegs to hold the connector in place during solder process and may provide extra strength post soldering. Also known as plastic post.

Profile

The profile of connectors above the PCB. Vertical connectors denote the stacking profile in parallel PCB applications, right angle connectors denotes height above the PCB.

Header Pin Size

Displays the size of the header square pin/post, as connector pitch reduces sq. post size reduces too, one reason for lower current carrying capability of smaller pitch PCB connectors. Note: Two options in 1.27mm (.050”) pitch. Female sockets clearly state which header square pin size they mate with.

Elevated

Products which achieve a greater space between PCB’s, normally used in parallel PCB stacking applications to achieve a desired height. Elevated headers normally have two insulators, while elevated sockets use an insulator block and modular insulator extenders.

Polarisation

Polarisation allows connectors to be plugged together in only the correct mating orientation. Achieved by a polarisation cutout or ‘key’ on PCB headers and raised polarisation bump on female connectors. Select both ‘key’ and ‘bump’ to view all polarised parts.

Insulator Colour

Standard board to board connector range is black, white insulators used for White Lite range for Solid State Lighting (SSL) applications.
